As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, organisations are increasingly relying on managed security service providers (MSSPs) to protect their IT environments. SonicWall has tailored its MSSP partner programme to equip providers with cutting-edge tools and resources to safeguard customers while boosting efficiency and profitability.
The need for MSSPs in today’s landscape
Today’s cyber security threats – ransomware, zero-day attacks and phishing – are more complex than ever. Businesses often lack the resources to manage these risks internally, making MSSPs essential. MSSPs offer the expertise to monitor, manage and mitigate these threats in real-time, safeguarding on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
SonicWall recognises this need and has designed its MSSP programme to empower providers with the tools necessary to offer comprehensive security solutions while improving operational costs and efficiency.
Key benefits of the SonicWall MSSP programme
1. Best-in-class security solutions
SonicWall’s MSSP programme gives partners access to a suite of advanced cyber security tools. Powered by SonicWall’s threat intelligence, MSSPs can provide market-leading protection from a wide array of threats, including ransomware and malware. Integration with Capture advanced threat protection (ATP) ensures proactive protection by sandboxing and analysing suspicious files before they can harm systems.
2. Flexible pricing and subscription model
SonicWall offers MSSPs flexible, subscription-based pricing, aligning with their business needs. This model allows for scalable monthly billing and customised solutions, helping MSSPs grow their businesses without rigid financial commitments. Exclusive pricing options and incentives are available to drive managed service growth.
3. Centralised management
Operational efficiency is key to scaling services. SonicWall’s Network Security Manager (NSM) provides centralised management, enabling MSSPs to monitor and control their clients’ security environments from a single interface. This streamlines operations and allows faster responses to threats. With integrated automation through Capture Client, MSSPs can reduce manual workloads and respond to incidents proactively.
4. Comprehensive training and support
SonicWall provides specialised MSSP training through SonicWall University, ensuring partners stay updated on the latest security technologies. In addition, MSSPs receive personalised support through dedicated partner account managers and technical experts, as well as tiered technical support that scales with their business growth.
5. Branding and customisation
SonicWall’s programme allows MSSPs to offer branded solutions, ensuring their customers experience their service first, while SonicWall provides the underlying security technologies. This differentiation helps MSSPs build stronger relationships and stand out in the competitive market.

"Empowering our valued resellers to self-provision will enhance flexibility in the management, redistribution and licensing of SonicWall's comprehensive product range. The introduction of a monthly billing model will undoubtedly be a game-changer for many of the MSPs and MSSPs we regularly collaborate with, as well as those we are yet to engage with."
